Listening to Death Cab for Cutie. I hadn't listened to the band really since 2015. Their new music doesn't really impress me. I think for me and my life they always released albums when I was making big changes. Highschool ended album, college ended album, but I think since their...

The day slipped away made loose by the sun .
I felt tired and hot and my throat sore so I took a test . 
Negative one line then I don't know why my throat is sore. 
It could be the many other microbes 🦠 trying to get at my energy.

Today is going good, and it marks an important time for me. 

I have started in earnest writing my thesis. 

And I figured out how many words I have to write in a work day to finish by June.
Its about 500, 500/day 5 days a week. 

Which is doable,I hope, ...

I was in a hurry today. But it was hard to be. 
My walk was too nice, too much  sun and birds were flying and singing. 
But I had a deadline, an important document that needed to be done by 9am.

I start a lot of presentations about science with a tree .

Over and over again, and what was it 10 k?
Even if its raining there is still an opening. 
You can see if...

I thought I had a profound idea yesterday. One line of something like wherever you are your there. Or a sweeping generalisation that works for the stage of life I am in. Like something good you could put on Instagram and people would direct message their best friend with. But...

I was going to write last night but now going to this morning. Last night I got drunk so now I am paying for it in a hangover. Sad. 

It was different than when I first got drunk. 
This time we sat around a table drinking wine and cocktails and...

On a train again. There are people heading home mostly. From London and further. Telling their family members on the phone to turn on the hot water. And set the laundry out they’ll do it when they get back.

One guy is in a nice suit. Asking someone on the phone...

I recommend everyone to read Bird by Bird, so much so that I will make it into a tag. 
Bird by Bird If you want to write nice stories, its great, she gives you ideas and really pushes you to write honest and authentic things.

But even if you just...
